Abstract: Disclosed is a fear-reducing device including a light for providing illumination in a dark room occupied by a person and including a controller for controlling the light output levels of the light. The light has variable lumen output levels in response to light control signals from the controller for helping overcome night-fear of the person. The control unit automatically reduces the output levels over a tapering period of time extending for multiple weeks. The control unit automatically reduces the output levels over a dimming period for each day of the tapering period. The controller is remote from the light and communicates with the light with wireless communication.

Abstract: A closure for use during Positive Airway Pressure treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea for controlling air leakage through the lips and mouth of a person. The closure includes a first member formed of an air-sealing layer for extending over the lips of and to an adjacent region on the skin of the person. The closure includes a second member formed of an adhesive layer adhered to the first member for placement on at least the adjacent region on the skin for adhering the closure to the skin to form an air seal over the mouth. The closure includes a quick-release member for breaking the air seal.

Abstract: A pillow having a length, a width and a height for supporting a head of a reclining body. The pillow is formed of a core formed with variable displacement parameters along the length and width in the direction of the height. The core includes an outer region surrounding, at least in part, an inner region where the inner region forms one or more cavities within the outer region to establish the variable displacement parameters. The variable displacement parameters allow the head to deform the pillow in the direction of the height of the pillow in proximity to the cavities for controlling alignment of the head in a comfortable sleeping position.

Abstract: A new Dual-Bar Lug Nut Removing System for facilitating removal of lug nuts from a vehicle without the user exerting a tremendous amount of physical force, and of which can be easily disassembled and stored in a compact carrying case. The inventive device includes a ratchet-torque wrench, a first leverage tube which removably captures the ratchet handle of the ratchet-torque wrench, a second leverage tube removably secured to the ratchet-torque wrench orthogonally to the ratchet handle, and a carrying case which captures the above stated components.
